Another beautiful Basil Classic... a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
with only 69,099 miles that has been handpicked and meets Joe
Basil's standards of excellence and tradition of fine automobiles
since 1951. This vehicle is truly one of a kind and one of the
cleanest, most well taken care of, showroom condition C3 Corvette's
that you will find! Buy with confidence!! Basil Classics is proud
to introduce one of our newest additions, a 1978 C3 Corvette
finished in Corvette Red exterior paint. The beautiful exterior
color is accompanied by OEM corvette rims wrapped in period correct
white lettered Hoosier tires. The interior is a light beige color
with vinyl trimmed bucket seats and a 2-tone center console and
dashboard. On the dash are many gauges to display info to the
driver which include oil pressure, battery voltage, water
temperature, and fuel as well as an updated Sony radio head unit
that has been installed. This C3 is also equipped with T-Tops which
are included in the trunk, of which there are 2 sets. A hard top
color set and a tinted all glass set for sunny days. Under the hood
is Chevy's 5.7L L48 V8 engine paired to a 3-speed automatic
transmission which produces around 185HP. 1978 was the Corvette's
25th anniversary which called for a slight redesign. A new fastback
rear window was the most dramatic and noticeable styling change,
giving the ten-year-old C3 Corvette body style a fresh lease on
life. The fixed-glass fastback benefited both aerodynamics and
increased the usable luggage space behind the seats while improving
rearward visibility in the bargain. A shade was installed that
could be pulled forward to cover the rear compartment to protect
cargo and carpet against the sun. The tachometer and speedometer
were redesigned to match the new aircraft styled center console and
gauge cluster first seen the previous year. Redesigned interior
door panels were also new as well as an actual glove box was added
in front of the passenger seat, replacing the map pockets of
previous years. This car is in beautiful condition and needs a new
owner, so stop in today and see it in person! Just look and you can
tell that this vehicle was very well cared for by its owners and
kept in show condition! When you drive this vehicle, it has the
feel that you're looking for...runs and drives just like new! This
is a no excuse vehicle. This car will make a fine collector's piece
for you and your family for years to come! Instead of looking at
